The higher implant can be lowered and this will make the scar at a more suitable location. The pockets can also be manipulated to create a fuller more natural result to an extent.

Your breasts are asymmetric in the pre operative photo. So if using same size implant the differences will be increased. Better to obtain a few in person opinions before proceeding, just to hear in person other thoughts.

Concerns about Revisionary Breast Surgery?

I'm sorry to hear about the complication you have experienced after breast augmentation surgery.

At this point, it seems like you may benefit from additional time spent communicating with your plastic surgeon. Obviously, one of the main goals with your surgery should be to improve symmetry. Hopefully, manipulation of the breast implant pockets and/or the use of different sizes of breast implants will help improve your breast asymmetry.

Also, try to communicate clearly exactly what you are trying to achieve when it comes to breast size. I would suggest that you do not base this communication process on achieving a specific cup size. As you know “DD" cup size or “fullness look” may mean different things to different people.

Best wishes; make sure you feel more comfortable with the plan prior to proceeding with surgery.

I can't tell from your photos what has happened to you but either the one pocket was made wrong or there is a capsular contracture pulling that implant up. Either way, you should be much more concerned at this point about trying to achieve better symmetry that worrying about cup size. When you need a revision like yours it is not the same as a first time patient with no scar tissues.

I can't tell from the narrative if the right implant is firm, which would imply that you have a capsular contracture. The alternative explanation is that the right implant hasn't dropped, and is therefore malpositioned. Lowering the implant to the proper position would be the surgical treatment.

There are no fixed definitions for cup size, and I have patients who can wear cups of 3 different sizes that fit. That makes it quite difficult to use cup size as a end point. I would assume that an increase in size of 100 cc will give you about a half cup increase over your current size.

Sounds like you need to have a careful discussion with your surgeon about your size goal before undergoing another surgery.All the best.
